Tim Bear RIP

I have mentioned Tim Bear in other posts when I've written about clean water. He was one of the early proponents of sanitary and hands free dish wash stations.

Along with his kitchen, Musical Veggies, he was concerned about all of us staying health and washing our dishes without getting the germs of other people's dishes on our hands or our dishes.

Some people who gather leave a long and lasting visible mark on the gathering. Hands free dish wash stations and the subsequent hands free hand wash stations are one such gathering staple now thanks to Tim Bear and the rest of his crew. Every time you wash your dish at a statioin like the one pictured here, remember those who have gone before and manifested wisdom in such a down to earth manner.

Tim Bear died at home this year of natural causes -- a fitting place to pass for one who had given so much to this family and this gathering.

A lovely celebration of life/memorial was held for Tim Bear at the gathering.

Safe journeys and happy trails Tim Bear. We'll gather again together some day!
